Prayers for my parents

My parents have owned a small bakery in town for a little over 30 years. Well because of out shitty economy, my dad has been forced to close down before the holidays(usually after Christmas he closes for 2 weeks) and doesn't even know if he will be open back up after. I'm so worried about my parents. How will they get buy without this income? And the worst feeling is there's nothing I can do! My dads almost 65 years old and does most of the baking on his own w the help of an asst. baker. He's been trying to sell it but no luck there. I just wish someone would buy it and my dad and mom can enjoy these years. Please say a prayer for my mom and dad.

They are such good people. I always had the best of everything growing up and this just isn't fair to them. And right before Christmas for this to happen is just making it worse! If it wasn't for my baby boy I honestly wouldn't even care about the holiday.

Do they have community support? Is there a "I grew up eating these treats and this place is important to me" sort of vibe from former residents? If so, maybe get a Kickstarter or GoFundMe account going and see if people are willing to donate.

Stories like this tug on my heartstrings. I hope your parents find some relief in one way or another soon!

Thanks guys!! I've brought up trying to get a rally going. I think my dad is just do disgusted he didn't wanna hear it or talk about it. I have been trying not to even bring it up around him cuz I can tell he's just had it. My mom is miserable and making everybody else miserable which isn't like her but she's so stressed out!
